Commentary

John Gill

John Gill Bible Commentary

Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me,.... Either Saul, who gave him a wife to be a snare to him, and set men to watch his house and take him; or the Ziphites, who proposed to Saul to deliver him into his hands; see Sa1 18:21. and the gins of the workers of iniquity; the transgressions of wicked men are snares to others, by way of example; and so are the doctrines of false teachers, and the temptations of Satan, from all which good men desire to be kept, Pro 29:6; and it is the Lord alone that keeps and preserves from them, or breaks the snare and delivers them, Psa 124:7.
